I feel I post enough constructive stuff here to get a thread that's off topic be acceptable. If not, I don't care, you're a n0b :)
WARNING: This is a rant. Just go away now if you don't like it...
So, imagine a time, like 2 years ago, on the Scripters forum. All was well, Sorcus was trolling, Oysi was making cool st00f, and Anaminus and xLegox and Meelo could happily make us feel like idiots. Good stuff right?
Today, I nearly screamed at my computer because of the absolute BS spam that a bunch of n0bs keep posting here. And YES, I will name names because this is RIDICULOUS and MUST stop.
The list is as follows (if you are on this list, leave now. If you are a moderator, give them a warning/reminder/ban, PLEASE)
- Nocus - JasonIII - Iuntig
Looking through TWO pages (just two, all of about 40 threads), Nocus has 4 completely irrelevant threads, JasonIII has 5, and Iuntig has 7. Yes, SEVEN freaking spam threads. And reporting seems to do absolutely NOTHING. Telling them to leave, go to SH, go to the wiki, go to freaking Google, does literally nothing as can be seen from the threads they CONTINUE to post (while I'm writing this JasonIII has posted another thread of useless material and it has been reported and flamed; by the time I am done, no real actions will have occurred). And seriously, can't tell if trolling or just straight up retarded.
So what's the deal? Do we have moderation at all anymore? Is this supposed to be acceptable?? Cuz it's NOT. It's spam, it's useless, it benefits no one, AND IT CLUTTERS THE ALREADY SPAMMED FORUM.
How can we solve this issue? GOBWEY doesn't work anymore. SH doesn't work as a plausible location for them to flee to. I don't get it... I used to like discussing things here. Now I can't even find a thread to do that in...
Moderators, admins, developers, other people with power, I implore you see the reasoning behind my request and understand that this shouldn't have to happen and is significantly decreasing the quality of the site.
Get in here, get control, and return this forum to its half-spammed, original, former glory. This isn't gonna work...

"Everything looks good from a distance" -(forgot who said that)
The same applies for the past. There were still periodic spam invasions then too. However I do agree with you that it is quite an issue. |

Yes, it was bad then. But this is 10x worse without exaggeration. Spam raids can be contained (and WERE); they are just tolerated now. |

I argue deletion, and a move to scripters helpers where we can do what we do best - helping people.
But it is an issue, and despite what I argue, you are true. Although Sorcus was not around. (Ahh, the peace). |

I am both on Scripters and Scripting Helpers. I only post on real help issues though. That forum has gone to hell as well. |

If we make a programming forum then I wouldn't mind the deletion of this one... :p
I would expect as soon as some admin comes online he would delete all the spam here... but I guess not... :O |

You still get interesting discussion. Atleast when I ask questions I always get like 1-4 advance scripters with a few technical answers. Most are about CFrame too, so I always get answers I don't understand.
I don't know why everyone thinks that Forums has gone downhill, I always get great responses, and usually once it's answered we argue about something like efficiency of scripts, ect. |

This thead is the example of the trash that inhabits SH. They all think they know everything and so there are 20 incorrect answers and 1 real one. Enjoy sorting out the wrong ones. |

| OK. But let's face it, most of ROBLOX is like that. |

Now now, lets keep the PA to minimum. I just cleaned most of the random threads I could find. But so is this thread. Will be locked in a bit.
